Any advice would be appreciated.
I received an email from my manager at client co two and a half weeks before the end of my contract saying my contract was not going to be renewed and could I please be out of the office by the end of the week and I would be paid up to the end of my contract. This is not unusual were I work with a lot of people being asked to leave the same day they are told they are not needed and then being paid their notice.
At the end of the week I submitted my timesheet for that week and my timesheets for next two weeks which took me up to the end of my contract. These were approved via email as usual happens by my manager and forwarded onto my agency.
I got paid for the last week I worked at the company but I have not been paid for the two weeks after I left. I phoned up my agency last week to ask were the money was and they said they had just been told that my contract was not not renewed but that I was terminated immediately for gross misconduct. He then proceeded to read out the email that had been sent to them by client co which contained a mixture of half truths and out right lies. Some of the lies are around the fact that other departments were unhappy with my work however I had really good relationships with the senior people in these departments and I know that if HR spoke to them they would only have good things to say to me.
The agency is saying there is no way they are going to pay me unless they receive the money from client co first even though they have the approved timesheet. I have copies of the emails which say my contract was being renewed and I would be paid for the two weeks till then end of my contract. I also have a copy of the email approving my timesheet.
So what are my options? Is this something I can sort out myself in which case any suggestions on how to do it would be appreciated or do I need to get a lawyer involved.
Thanks
